Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. When an electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positively charged. When another electron is attempted to be removed from the same atom,this requires more energy than the first one, as the attractive force between the electrons and protons are greater owing to the presence of the extra proton. In order to break this force we need more energy to remove the second electron. Hence the second ionization energy is greater than the first ionization energy.

Hi!

Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy?

The reason second ionization energy is larger is because it takes more energy to remove an electron from a poistively charged ion than it does from an neutral atom.

A solution of H2SO4(aq) with a molal concentration of 4.80 m has a density of 1.249 g/mL. What is the molar concentration of thi

Naddika [18.5K]

Imagine we have mass of solvent 1kg (1000g)
According to that: $molality =n(solute) / m(solvent) =\ \textgreater \ 4.8m = 4.8mole / 1kg$
= 4.8 mole * 98 g/mole = 470g
$m(H2SO4) = n(H2SO4)*Mr(H2SO4) =\ \textgreater \$ $=\ \textgreater \ Molarity = 4.8 mole / 1.2 L = 4 M$ m(H2SO4) which is =470g

m(solution) = m(H2SO4) + m(solvent) = 470 + 1000 = 1470 g
d(solution) = m(solution) / V(solution) =>
=> 1.249 g/mL = 1470 g / V(solution) =>
$Molarity = n(solute) / V(solution) =\ \textgreater \$

Fluorine-21 has a half life of approximately 5 seconds. You have 340 grams, what fraction of the original nuclei would remain af

madreJ [45]

The half life equation is -->P(t) = Pi (0.5) ^ (t/c)
c is equal to the element to reach its half-life (5 seconds)t is equal to the duration of time the element is expose to (20 seconds)Pi is the initial amount (340)0.5 is the base of this exponential function to represent half-life.P(t) is the expression for the function of time

P(20) = 340 (0.5)^20/5P(20) = 340 (0.5) ^4P(20)= 21.25 grams
Fraction = P(t)/Pi = P(20)/Pi =21.25/340 =1/16
Therefore, when given 20 seconds, 340 grams of Fluorine-21 will degrade to 21.25 grams OR 1/16 of its original mass.
Hope this method helps! (This is my answer btw, I think you may have accidentally posted twice?)
